--- a (Toro) Wheel horse 315-8 with your selected attachments.
With the patented classic cast-iron cased Uni-drive transmission that uses cut gears, (not sintered), and ball/needle bearings, (not bushings), high-carbon steel angle-iron frame, heavy-duty cast iron front axle with rack/pinion steering that only takes 1/2 turn of the steering wheel to go to full turn lock (!!!).
The best feature is the tach-a-matic hitch system --- the mower deck comes off in seconds, (instead of hours), using no tools for e-z servicing. Both tractor and mower as well as other attachments have grease fittings throughout.
With proper servicing ---- this tractor will last 30 plus years !!!
Plus the tractor has a strong well built feeling to it that feels safe 20 years from now.
Yes, look under "Yahoo Groups for Wheel Horse" to meet people that can attest to the statements above !!!
